abnormal touch perception [FBcv_0000682]

Phenotype that is any abnormality in sensory perception of touch (GO:0050975). ‘sensory perception of touch’ is defined as: ‘The series of events required for an organism to receive a touch stimulus, convert it to a molecular signal, and recognize and characterize the signal. This is a neurological process. The perception of touch in animals is mediated by mechanoreceptors in the skin and mucous membranes and is the sense by which contact with objects gives evidence as to certain of their qualities. Different types of touch can be perceived (for example, light, coarse, pressure and tickling) and the stimulus may be external or internal (e.g. the feeling of a full stomach).’
